In general, the effect of laser treatment for wrinkles is relatively good. Laser wrinkle removal mainly utilizes the principle of photothermal action. When the laser irradiates the skin surface, it can precisely penetrate to different layers of the skin, stimulating the proliferation of collagen in the skin. The newly generated collagen can fill in the wrinkles caused by aging, thereby making the skin tighter and smoother, effectively reducing the depth and length of wrinkles.

Different skin types respond differently to lasers, so the treatment outcomes may vary. For mild wrinkles, laser treatment can utilize the photothermal principle to stimulate collagen regeneration, increase skin elasticity, and effectively remove wrinkles. However, for more severe wrinkles accompanied by skin laxity or sagging, laser wrinkle removal may not achieve the desired effect. In such cases, other methods, such as hyaluronic acid injections for filling, may need to be considered.

Although laser wrinkle removal is a relatively safe treatment method, it should be noted that not everyone is suitable for laser therapy; for example, pregnant women, patients with severe cardiovascular diseases, and patients with immune system diseases should avoid it. Before undergoing laser wrinkle removal treatment, it is recommended to consult a professional physician and understand the related precautions and postoperative care methods.
